	I am in dire need of some (perhaps obscure) information. I need 
to know roughly how long it takes an automobile to stop at a stop sign 
from 40mph. I need to know the time of the stop as well as the dist. over 
which the negative acceleration took place. 
	The type of car I am concerned about is an average family car(a 
ford taurus, for example) and a sports car ( a mustang, 911 etc.).
	Very general data about a generic car though would be fine. 
	Also I understand that the driver has a lot to do with the 
equation.  I'm just looking for a rough estimate and perhaps, if capable, 
any sort of arguments to support your data. 
	This is part of a much larger project, and I want a better 
estimate than I think I could give myself so if anyone can help, 
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreaT!
